Abstract
The FilmArray Blood Culture Identification Panel was validated for nonblood sterile site specimens with clinical impact of rapid identification compared to conventional diagnostics. The panel accurately identified target organisms from 98% of positive broth cultures a median 1.1 day faster than conventional techniques (P < 0.0001) with potential clinical impact in 22% of cases.Keywords: Clinical impact; FilmArray; Multiplex PCR; Rapid diagnostics; Sterile site
